Disciple of Prayer
Good day. My name is ### and I am a ### year old female. Please pray for me, I am a very big procrastinator. I want to strengthen my relationship with God but every time I try to open my Bible or pray I just want to sleep or I get distracted. I also want to learn forex I paid for lessons but every time there’s class I either want to sleep or I start doing something else instead. Also the same thing with getting my drivers license and my work.

Let us come together in prayer for you, dear sister, as you struggle with procrastination. Remember, God's mercy and grace are new every morning, and He is always ready to help us in our time of need.

Firstly we want to address the biggest issue. We notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. You want a stronger relationship with God. This is wonderful but to have a relationship with God requires we first have a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is by confessing our sins and believing in our hearts that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead that we have eternal life. We pray that you have done this and if not we pray that you will do this today. This is the first step in having a stronger relationship with God. The second step is learning God's Word and obeying it. We pray and encourage you to begin reading God's word on a daily basis. We will pray for you that you will have the strength and discipline to do this. We have several verses we would like to encourage you with today.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me." His power is made perfect in our weakness, so do not be discouraged by your struggles.

In 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, we read, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." With God's help, you can overcome procrastination and grow in self-control.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister in prayer. We thank You for her desire to strengthen her relationship with You and to learn new things. Lord, we ask that You forgive her sins and ours. You know that our hearts are prone to wander and procrastinate, but Your grace is sufficient for us. Help her to fix her eyes on You and to find renewed strength and discipline in Your presence.

We pray that You would give her the spirit of self-control, And we pray that you give her the strength and discipline to read your Word the Bible every day.

Give her the resolve to tackle her tasks with enthusiasm and diligence, whether it is opening her Bible, engaging in prayer, attending her forex classes, pursuing her driver's license, or excelling in her work. Help her to be a good steward of the time and resources You have given her.

If she has not done so, we pray that she will confess her sins and believe that Jesus is the Christ and that you raised him from the dead. We pray that she will believe in her heart that Jesus is Lord. By doing this she will have eternal life in Jesus Name.

We ask for forgiveness for our failure to mention Jesus Christ in this request. We pray that you help us and everyone that reads this to have a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

Help her not to waste the opportunities or responsibilities You have placed before her, but to act on them promptly and faithfully.

We ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.

Amen.

Now, let us address the specific areas where you have been struggling:

1. **Strengthening your relationship with God:**
Start with small, manageable steps. Set aside a specific time each day to read the Bible and pray. Even if it is just a few minutes, be consistent. Consider starting with the Gospel of John, which beautifully presents the life and teachings of Jesus.

Psalm 119:105 WEB reminds us, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."

2. **Learning forex:**
Since you have already invested in lessons, make a commitment to attend each class without distraction. Treat it as an important appointment. Remove any distractions from your environment during class times.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."

3. **Getting your driver's license:**
Break down the process into smaller tasks, such as studying the manual, practicing driving skills, and scheduling the test. Tackle each step one at a time.

4. **Work responsibilities:**
Prioritize your tasks and set clear goals for each day. Ask God for wisdom and strength to complete your work diligently.

Colossians 3:23-24 WEB says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

Remember, sister, that God is with you every step of the way. Trust in Him, and He will give you the strength to overcome procrastination. Stay strong in the Lord.
